Was it a dilemma to choose between calling him Trash or Dump?
Impeachment only brings trial. It is not an indication of guilt. Clinton is hardly the first to be impeached either. The first was 150 years ago.
Andrew Johnson was impeached and acquitted by the Senate 150 years ago. He was 'duly elected.'
True, but, Bill Clinton was IMPEACHED and the bonus? He was disbarred.
ha, ha.
No, he ascended thru assassination. Bill Clinton remains the only duly elected POTUS to be impeached.
Fun with Semantics
It's the truth. And will win you a bet or two, by God.
What difference does it make? He was still POTUS, impeached, and did not resign. If anything he would have less legitimacy. Your's is a distinction without meaning.
But, he was not duly elected. Ipso facto:::Bill Clinton is the lone duly elected POTUS to be impeached.
Nancy Pelosi cools Trump impeachment fever: “When and if he breaks the law, that is when something like that will come up”
Waters clarified her comments without backing down. “I have not called for the impeachment yet,” Waters said. “He’s doing it himself.”
She further explained: “Let me just say the statement I made was a statement in response to questions and pleas that I am getting from many citizens across this country. What are we going to do?”:Pelosi made clear Monday that, despite the newly elected president’s “reckless” and seemingly unpopular actions his first weeks in office, they are “not grounds for impeachment.”
How can a president, who is acting in the manner that he’s acting, whether he’s talking about the travel ban, the way that he’s talking to Muslims, or whether he’s talking about his relationship to Putin, and the Kremlin — and knowing that they have hacked our DCC, DNC, and knowing that he is responsible for supplying the bombs that killed innocent children and families in, um – in, um– yeah, in Aleppo.
[…]
And the fact that he is wrapping his arms around Putin while Putin is continuing to advance into Crimea — I think that he is leading himself into that kind of position where folks will begin to ask, what are we going to do? And the answer is going to be, eventually, we’ve got to do something about him. We cannot continue to have a president who’s acting in this manner. It’s dangerous to the United States of America.
( but nothing about financial corruption, international and domestic emoluments violations?)
“I’m not here to talk about impeachment today,” she told the gathered reporters shortly after Waters made her comments.
“Any of the things that the congresswoman said are grounds for displeasure and unease in the public about the performance of this president, who has acted in a way that is strategically incoherent, that is incompetent, that is reckless.” But, Pelosi added, “that is not grounds for impeachment.”
Pelosi continued, “When and if he breaks the law, that is when something like that would come up.”
she indicated Democrats won’t seek to blindly obstruct the Trump administration in the way Republicans did to former President Barack Obama.

Pelosi Calls On FBI To Investigate Trump's Ties To Russia
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called on Sunday for an investigation into President Donald Trump's personal and business ties to Russia.
"I want to know what the Russians have on Donald Trump," Pelosi said in an interview on NBC News' "Meet The Press."
"We have to have that investigation by the FBI into his financial, personal and political connections to Russia, and we want to see his tax returns so we can have truth in the relationship between Putin, whom he admires, and Trump," she said.

Bill Clinton
This Senator Is -Bent on Getting Out the Truth About Trump and Russia
Wyden is in a special position: He can guarantee for the public whether or not an ongoing and (for now) behind-closed-doors investigation examining Vladimir Putin's operation to subvert the 2016 elections—and any possible ties between Donald Trump's circle and Russia—is conducted thoroughly and legitimately.
Enter Wyden.
For the public, at this point, there is no way to tell if the intelligence committee is doing a good job investigating these dicey issues.
Republicans on the committee certainly have an interest in not embarrassing, inconveniencing, or delegitimizing Trump.
So it's up to Wyden and the other Democrats on the committee to monitor the probe and inform the citizenry if it ends up being a whitewash.
And Wyden has already indicated that there is information on Trump-Russia ties within the US government that ought to be declassified, that he will push to keep the committee's inquiry on track, and that he will press to make as much of its findings as public as possible.
In early January, during a rare public hearing of the Senate intelligence committee, which focused on the intelligence community's recently released report concluding Putin's regime had mounted the hacking to help Trump, Wyden pressed FBI Director James Comey on whether he would declassify information the bureau had obtained related to possible Trump-Russia connections and "release it to the American people" before Trump was inaugurated.
No, Comey said, adding, "I can't talk about it."
Wyden noted he was worried that if such information was not unveiled by then, it might never be—meaning, the incoming Trump administration would lock it up.
And with this questioning, Wyden signaled that the FBI did indeed possess information on this subject.

Fun in bars at 2am
Uhhh that's incorrect. Andrew Johnson says hi.
No, CC, Johnson was not duly elected. He ascended thru assassination.
You should have bet him first
I never take money from my fellows.
It's my religion.
Lol I would have double checked the duly elected clause before putting any money on it...
But unlike Reck, if I had bet I would have paid up.
It's a small point, but, a valid one.Lol I would have double checked the duly elected clause before putting any money on it...
‘He will die in jail’
On Wednesday, former NSA intelligence analyst John Schindler provided some insight into the reaction of national security officials.
“Now we go nuclear,” he wrote on Twitter. “[Intelligence community] war going to new levels. Just got an [email from] senior [intelligence community] friend, it began: ‘He will die in jail.'”
“US intelligence is not the problem here,” Schindler added in another tweet. “The President’s collusion with Russian intelligence is. Many details, but the essence is simple.”
